Agreed, you two are very smart for putting up all this food. And I bet they are yummy! I just told PW what you canned today, and he said "gross!" What does he know?! I love grapefruit everything :-D We ended up w/ about the same amt of snow as you today.. is it done yet? I hope. -T

Great idea! I haven't done any canning for years and wouldn't have thought that direction at all. I think we are all waiting for that "switch" to be flipped to Spring setting....for sure!!! Although this storm missed us, our landscape is still very white from a week ago! Easter blessings.....

One of our favorite things about south Texas in the winter is Rio Star Grapefruit, cheap and delicious. Almost every RVer has a huge net bag of it hanging from their 5th wheel hitch or big mirrors on their motor home!

The fruit look fantastic, I've never heard of cold packing, I like the sound of it, I'll have to look that up!

Love all your snow, we are getting it right now, same storm you got I am sure! It's been really windy, so it's blowing the snow everywhere. It's supposed to snow on and off through tomorrow...I'm getting my winter days in, even if it is spring!

I want to know how you cold pack those grapefruit? I love them fresh and right now they are delicious even at the grocery store. We got a lot more snow than you did -- close to 14 inches!! It is very pretty though. By the weekend it is supposed to be 60 degrees. Can you believe it?

What a lot of work to get those fruits ready for canning! I am amazed with all the food preserving you do. I have always wanted to can veggies/fruits, but never learned how. The snow looks so fresh and pretty.
